    Hi Julie!

    I found you via Trendy Treehouse, and I'm now following your lovely blog.

    I love this sign. what a great idea to use Blackboard paint. This would be handy for me to let visitors know to go round to the back garden, when we're out during the summer.

    🙂

    Great idea! The original sign is pretty cute; I would have had a hard time painting over it! And I didn't realize you could get chalkboard paint as a spray. I'm going to be on the lookout!! Thanks for sharing!

    That's a good idea! I know there have been many BBQ's where I've had to stick a note on the front door telling guests to come around the back {because, hello, it's a BBQ and we're all outside and no one can hear the doorbell}.

    Hey there, just found you through Sawdust and Paper scraps and I love this chalkboard idea. I also checked out some of your blog and I love it. I usually paint everything black or white also. And your art wall with the turquoise frames is fantastic.

    I am now a follower!

    Have you seen these signs anywhere else lately?
    I love the "pre-painted" "home sweet home" sign and it would fit my decor. you mentioned Marshalls. Was that recent?
    thanks

    What a great idea, I have just "discovered" my love of chalk boards and the messages you can leave for your loved ones on them. I also just discovered Chalk Ink, in our part of the Country, California, I found it at Michael's, it is great! No dust, and the no more squeaky chalk sounds …., but the best part is that the letters are crisp and clear. You have given me yet another thing to do on my front deck ,Thank you, Curtis and Sherrie

    Hi Julie-
    What a clever modern way to update a piece that was dated. I have seen other chalkboard projects, but this is a first – so clever. You can write a note to delivery people, guests, and holiday greetings. It is a brilliant idea.
    My best- Diane

    What a pretty front entry! But with the little chalkboard, it's totally awesome! I love how you can change the messages when desired. That's brilliant! Not to mention, others being able to leave you a message back if so desired. 🙂

    Very cool!

    I would be writing goofy things when people came over. Like some inside joke to make them smile before coming in.
